About these units
Cubit (Greek) (cubit (greek))
The Greek cubit (approximately 0.462 meters) is an ancient unit based on the length of the forearm from elbow to fingertip. It was widely used in Greek architecture, engineering, and construction projects, including temples and civic buildings. Greek architects and surveyors applied the cubit to create proportional structures, ensuring harmony between different elements of a building. Its simplicity — derived from the human body — made it practical for field measurements in the absence of standardized tools. The cubit also held symbolic and ritual significance, often appearing in religious texts, design manuals, and classical literature. Modern historians and archaeologists study the Greek cubit to reconstruct ancient plans and understand the practical realities of classical building techniques.
Chain (ch)
A chain is equal to 66 feet or 4 rods, and it was standardized by surveyor Edmund Gunter in the 17th century. "Gunter's chain," consisting of 100 metal links, became the backbone of land surveying in the English-speaking world for centuries. Its convenience stems from simple arithmetic: 10 square chains make an acre, making land area calculations straightforward. Railroads, farmland, and city parcels across the United States and the Commonwealth nations were once laid out using chains, so the unit appears in countless historical records. Even today, some legal property descriptions still reference chain-based measurements, making the unit relevant for modern surveyors who interpret old maps. Although high-precision digital equipment has replaced physical chains, the unit's structural role in land division ensures its lasting importance.
